Just as topic says I managed to bend my floor under my lifting blocks by accidentally lifting the car with the jack a bit of the block close to the side skirt. This caused the block to collapse in on the outer side of the block can this be fixed? I can still lift the car fine by lifting it on the side that is not collapsed.

Well there is no hole it is just bent by 1-2cm max, sucks tough that **** like this happens .It is likely possible to bend it back but then there is the problem with metal fatigue which my cause it to bend more easily next time

Mine is a 2001 and it has a stamped sort of bump with a re-enforcement underneith about where I circled in red below, jack stands where the green is - I jack it with a low profile floor jack with a rubber pad. It has not deformed:

Can you remove the plastic jack block and use a piece of 2x4 wood in that area instead of the plastic block?

It can be removed prolly have to brake it tough, Dont you guys think it can be bent back and function properly? Here is a picture, not the best one but you can see that lifting block is closer to the sideskirt than it should be.
